How goddamn annoying are those commercials where Greg Anthony tells us that it isn't March Monotony? Those ads are the worst. Speaking of ads, Mad Men came back last night. That's some excellent transitioning right there! Anyway, we're down to the Final Four so let's take a few minutes to talk about how we got there.

Out West - Rick Pitino is heading back to the Final Four with his Louisville Cardinals and army of dead babies. This team interests me somewhere between one and zero percent. I do not care for their style of rugged, physical basketball even if they do play up tempo (my preference). Sure, they are solid. Siva and that guy that spurned UC are both pretty good but, you know, whatever. I'm more intrigued by the delightful choking of Billy Donovan's team who absolutely pissed that game away. Irving Walker has never met a terrible shot with 30 seconds left on the shot clock that he didn't love. In my personal opinion, Louisville did not win on Saturday, Florida lost because they took horrible shot after horrible shot. Anyway, does anybody think that Pitino is going to win a game in NOLA? I do not.

Back East - Well, well, well...Ohio State is traveling down to The French Quarter. Honestly, they are playing great ball right now and they deserve to still be playing. I may want to watch Aaron Craft get raped by a gang of Mayans but you have to give credit when it is due. It is due here. And I'm happy for Thad. He needed this. No, it's not like his job is in jeopardy at all, but he needed to get back to the Final Four just to shut up any critics. There really is nothing more to say about the Fuckeyes because I feel as dirty as hippie hair for the above paragraph. The one good thing about this development is that King Douche Jim Boeheim fell short again. The guy is a cocksucker. Period. I wish nothing but continued failure from him. Good game but the better team won.

Hey, what about Friday? - X, NC State, and IU all lost. That UK/IU game was just amazingly entertaining. You were kidding yourself if you thought that the Hoosiers could possibly win, but it was the most fun game of the year nonetheless. And how about those Bobcats! You know what, fuck them. Those losers. I was rooting against them. Grumpy was, too. You never, ever, EVER root for your rival to have success. I will say that after watching Miami get their fucking hearts broken (AGAIN!) in the hockey tourney, I was scared shitless that I would have to watch Walter fucking Offutt beat Soulja Roy, too. I was not prepared to deal with that much heartbreak. I'm glad that it did not come to that. Fun game though. Be honest, you thought that DJ Cooper's last second heave was in, didn't you?

Down Souf - Let's be honest, no one can touch Kentucky. The only team that can beat Kentucky is Kentucky. Well, themselves and a terrifying few minutes where Anthony Davis's knee stremph was unknown. Is it just me or is Terence Jones just awful? He has all world talent but a Drew Gooden head. You know, that might be who he becomes eventually...Drew Gooden. He just pumps out good stats on horrible teams.

It's a Midwest Swaaaaaang, yaaaaaawwwww - Kansas and North Carolina put on a classic even though I was more engrossed with hour #3 of the goddamn fantasy baseball draft. Sumbitch, that took forever. Anyway, if you thought that UNC was going to keep winning with no PG, you were foolish. Beating OU was their ceiling. Can you imagine how hilarious it would have been to watch that little white shithead try to start the offense with Craft in his shorts? TOTES LOL! But the sickness of Thomas Robinson prevails and now we get us some rematches.

Prediction time! It really doesn't matter who wins on Saturday just as long as Louisville does not. No one wants to watch them play anymore. I will truly enjoy Kentucky vs. whoever wins the other win. THAT is what we want to see. I like Ohio State and Kentucky to play for it all on Monday night actually. The Buckeyes are just playing too well right now and owe the Jayhawks some payback. And UK isn't going to lose. Period.

Dut was talking about heading down to NOLA for the Final Four last night. Has anything new developed? Anyone else considering it? Flights are well over a grand right now! Seal going? Either way, the Final Four should be incredible next weekend.

Rock Chalk Cocksuckers....very excited. Bucks played a very good game on Saturday, even though the refs tried to make it into a terrible game (for both sides). I like the re-match with Kansas...should be a very very good game, but I'm confident the Bucks will win a close one.

That win on Saturday was indeed huge for Thad. So happy for him. He is a great coach.

Whew, I'm glad that you understood what I was getting at in regard to Thad. It's not like his seat is even remotely warm, but he can't keep getting knocked out earlier than he should. I honestly think that I would support Ohio State's team this year if it wasn't for you ham-fisted mongoloid fans. So, you know, Go Jayhawks.

I was always right about Boeheim. Never doubt me. I am right about everything.

The Cavs are going to need a whole shitload of luck to get MKG but I would love that kid forever. I want no part of Harrison Barnes anymore. I'll take Beal and Lamb over him any day.

Barnes is a weird player. He's gone all Buford lately...that's not good. That air-ball he shot against Ohio was pathetic. I don't know what to make of him...I do know that I would not feel comfortable if my NBA team used a lottery pick on him.

Did you hear who Illinoise is after now? John Groce. I giggled like a bitch when I heard that this morning.

Thad Matta sweats more than his players do while coaching. That guy probably needs a towel next to him when he eats dinner to dry off halfway through. It's probably his Mr. Potato Head nose kicking off the massive heat.

Yesterday I heard a Buckeye fan call into the local dickweed radio show and proclaim Jared Sullinger as the second best player in college basketball. Long story short, I don't have a radio anymore and in related news I also have 3 broken fingers on my masturbating hand.

And I think Groce to Illinois is a great move for them - that guy is a very good coach. Can you imagine what he might be able to do with Big 10 caliber talent? Iceman, please dont talk about college basketball anymore.

I'm not gonna waste my time talking about Buford anymore. He's had one good game in the last month and the Bucks obviously don't need him to play well to win. So anything they get out of him is a bonus.

Saturday was the most fun I've had watching a Buckeye sporting event in a long time.

I am developing a crush on Lenzelle Smith Jr. Him and Craft together in the backcourt for the next two years should be fun to watch.

Groce has finished 9th, 9th, 5th and 3rd in the MAC. Just because he makes a Cinderella run one year in the NCAA tournament that makes him a great coach now? I mean...I know the MAC is pretty tough every year, guys. Get the fuck outta here. Go back to what you're good at Seal...sucking Calipari's warty cock.

Actually, Iceman, you proved your point wrong. Sure, his regular season record is average at best. If OU was in the West and not the much more grueling East, they would have been a top 3 seed every season. Why am I defending Ohio U??? But what it proves is that come Feb and March every year, he has his team playing their best which is all that matters, right?

FACT - Groce is one of the hottest coaches in the game right now. Hiring him would be a good get.

Lenzelle Smith's 8 foot floater that hit the ceiling was a thing of beauty.

If that half court heave would've went in, Athens would still be smoldering right now. That was a pathetic attempt at the last shot for UNC. Unfortunately, I think everyone knew it was a lost cause once the game went to overtime. Ohio just didn't have the horses for another 5 minutes in that game.

I totally agree Drew. What the fuck were the refs doing on Saturday night? I think OSU was the better team but that game was fucking choppy because of those refs. One time down the floor you could get away with rape and the next a phantom hand check was called in 2 milliseconds.

Grumpy and Dut on Twitter? Hit me up guys! I'm a Twitter whore during the games. @bucknut1981

Another FACT. Groce wasn't Illinoise first choice. Seems like a desperation move for a team scrambling to find a head coach. I know everyone has to come from somewhere, but he just seems like an average coach to me.

Bert Sugar died. Anyone care? Yeah...didn't think so.

Be cautious about adding Brady as a Twitter follower. He likes to post nudes of Derec Alexander.

Thank God I'll be at work when Norm Wamer and The Front Row crew has their 5 hour tribute show for Bert Sugar, Brady. Looks like the "checking the market" segment just got a little longer and a lot more shitty.

I'm sure I could muster a live blog for the Championship game. Hopefully it's more entertaining than the football NCG was. I couldn't get erect for a week after subjecting myself to that shit.

Ohio State is playing better than any team in the country, other than Kentucky. I like them against Kansas, but UK appears to be a buzz saw right now.

Seal,I am headed to Lexington for a bachelor party this weekend. We will be touring bourbon an whiskey distilleries on Saturday, but do you have reccomendations for restaurants and night life on Friday and Saturday night? Keep in mind that I will need to be watching the game somewhere on Saturday.

...I have no problem with what Frank Martin said. He didn't pay any players that he coached in college. He didn't pay any player to get them to go to any certain college. He gave some struggling kids he had a prior relationship with some scratch for whatever they needed. Anything that says the NCAA is fucking joke is fine by me.

Kentucky is about to buy a championship and the K State kid had to sit out over getting $200 from a "father figure" in his life.

It depends - are you staying downtown or close to campus? Two Keys on campus is probably the most famous bar in Lexington - very fun and always loaded with hot southern girls. Around Two Keys are other bars in walking distance that are always a good time.

The bourbon trail you are going on is fun as well - The East trail is great, I believe both Wild Turkey and Woodford Reserve on on that tour.

Downtown bars are good, but I would highly suggest being at a bar close to/or on campus for the game. Should be crazy.

By the way, Damman and I got assigned together making our season debuts on the high school diamonds this Saturday. Our DH begins at noon. The Buckeyes tip off at 5. It's going to be tight to get it over with before the Final Four starts even if shit goes perfectly. Who wants me to troll so hard by calling zero strikes and thus making him miss the first half of the basketball game??? I'm going to set an OHSAA record for walks in a game.

I understand how TV works, you dolt. I just assumed that the inter-Kentucky battle between a cheater and a sexhound would be the ultimate primetime ratings grab. Matta vs. Self doesn't really move the meter.
